Wasn't Pistol Pete mostly a 2 guard?

EHH...wrong answer but thanks for playing. Don't let a short memory lead you wrong. He was flashy and fun and brought us some success and hope. He might crack the top 5 of best Jazz players, but only just.

No, it's obvious.

Dantley and Maravich were more empty stats. D-Will was great. Stop being petty.

Strike that. Reverse it. Quit being a fan-boy.

Let the past go, Dwill was a God.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I also skip your next opinion.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

And on your next turn I make you watch 4 classic D-Will playoff games.

 

[jope]

D-Will is #2.

Maravich was an overrated showman.

Before my time, but wasnt the pistol more of a 2 than a pg anyway?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

D-Will regularly owned Chris Paul when he was with Utah. Chris Paul will go down as a top 10 PG of all time (as much as it pains me to say).

Before my time too, but he seems like a guy who is more romanticized for his style (basically Allen Iverson before AI existed) than he was for his winning.

The Pistol was definitely romanticized for his style. The Jazz were actually on track to make the playoffs their last year in New Orleans until Maravich got injured doing one of his signature showboating passes. That pretty much changed everything. If not for that injury, Sam Battistone may not have moved the team to Utah.

I remember when D-Will was widely regarded as the best PG in the league, he had the nastiest crossover.

When was that? Paul has been viewed by pretty much everyone except Utah fans as better than D Will from the beginning.

Nah. People recognized.

7. Jeremy Evans 3.8
8. Olden Polynice 3.7
9. Al Jefferson 3.6
10. Antoine Carr 3.5

So what I am seeing here is that prime Greg Ostertag is possibly the most underrated player in the history of the NBA. . .

 

[framer]

When was that? Paul has been viewed by pretty much everyone except Utah fans as better than D Will from the beginning.

Those times when DWill was advancing in the playoffs and Paul wasn't. Playoff success eventually subsumes everything. Example, Tony Parker, who isn't as good as his playoff reputation. Lack of playoffs holds Cousins and Hayward back.
